   abstract: "Micah Kieffer\u2019s research activities have always focused on movements\
     \ and ecology of wild New England sturgeons.  Of significance is his ongoing\
     \ pursuit of sturgeon investigations that have been a part of the Conte AFRL\
     \ mission since its opening in 1991.  Published results of these efforts continue\
     \ to influence sturgeon management in the Connecticut River and Gulf of Maine,\
     \ placing him in a unique position to guide new investigations and advise management\
     \ concerns, particularly in light of significant recent changes to passage structures\
     \ and water regulation on the Connecticut River.  Sturgeon conservation/protection\
     \ support activities include advising state and federal management agencies,\
     \ serving on managerial and information sharing teams, and providing routine\
     \ sturgeon handling training for investigators working in the Northeast.  In\
     \ addition to research pursuits, he is a leader in CAFRL water safety training,\
     \ manages CAFRL research vessel fleet, and serves the local community as a public\
     \ safety diver.  His MS degree was achieved in 1991 at the University of Massachusetts,\
     \ Amherst, identifying the status of shortnose sturgeon in the Merrimack River.\
     \  His BS degree in marine and environmental science was achieved at East Stroudsburg\
     \ University in 1982.  Between degrees, he worked as a High Seas Fisheries Compliance\
     \ Inspector/Foreign Fisheries Observer, deployed in the Gulf of Alaska/Bering\
     \ Sea and North Atlantic Ocean on commercial fishing vessels from six nations."
